THE SECOND OF LIFE EMPRESS
THE TSOLE 37

Here they were, sitting in an old chair with two kinds of dishes in front of them. Not forgetting the hungry look as if ready to storm. Not only the five of them, but Siu also sat obediently while the tail was wagged.

Grateful Flo had burned 5 fish skewers so that it was enough for all of them. As for Sui, leave her share for the little wolf.

Immediately, Wen's lady-in-waiting Fuo served each one a skewer of grilled fish and a bowl of clear duck soup beside the tray.

“Eat a lot and do not let you choke on fish bones.” Clearly Flo commemorates Siu. Whether the wolf understood or not, but his short howl seemed to understand.

Seeing Flo's treatment made Wan's ladies as well as Fuo's ladies give their trays containing grilled fish.

“Hei!! What are you guys doing?? No need to think about me. Everyone gets one fish skewer each and I do too.” Firm Flo. It seems like these two ladies are so sad if only he did not get fish. After all he willingly gave his grilled fish to Siu.

“T-but..” The words of the Wan lady stopped because she got a sharp look Flo who seemed not to want to be denied.

With a little unkindness, they nodded and kept the tray in front of each one.

“Oh yes... Earlier I wanted to apologize for not being able to provide a decent seat for Grandpa Mo.” Flo looked at the old man sitting right next to her left.

How else, in his residence chairs and cutlery are so limited and fairly old goods. They were adults sitting on chairs while little lady-in-waiting Wen Siu was also sitting on the bed where Flo was sleeping.

Grandfather Mo who heard it felt quite concerned was also not feeling good. The young girl who was the wife of his student was so humble was also very kind. Proven from the way that welcomes him even with the limitations of tools.

“Tak what. After all, I feel so grateful that you accepted the arrival of this old man.” The reply.

“---”

Seeing that everyone had gotten a share, Flo immediately told them to enjoy the meal.

“Alright!! Welcome and sorry if the taste is not fitting on your tongue.” Flo's voice is low.

Soon they tried clear duck soup as an opening menu and grilled fish continued. The aroma of the spice was also a warm burst of steam sweeping across their faces as they brought the bowl closer to his face.

The wooden spoon managed to hold a little soup sauce and was immediately shaved.

SLURPP...

Warm, sweet, savory, and sour chime in the mouth. His throat was warm at the same time. Food that is very suitable in cloudy times like this.

WHOA!!!

Such was the first cry that was left from their lips all. His hands incessantly scooped the soup sauce to immediately enter the mouths of all of them.

Even Sui who was behind Flo also seemed to enjoy the dishes that had been made by him.

“---”

“I'm so grateful to the goddess for still giving me life so I can taste food as good as this.” Grandpa Mo's words sounded exaggerated.

Dayang Wan was also the dayang Fuo nodded confirming. This duck soup feels so good, like you found a piece of gold coin in the mud.

What's more, the taste of grilled fish is very much different from all the grilled fish menu they have tried. This grilled fish is so delicious with a new taste on their tongues.

If the entire empire were to find out about this food, there would definitely be new rumors. Of course good rumors are also their mistrust of the hidden talent of the empress.

“Kakek Mo is too much. My cuisine is nothing compared to the work of an imperial cook.” Reply Flo. Though indirectly Flo insinuated the palace cook.

For almost three hours, Grandpa Mo was at Flo's residence. Even the sky is getting dark, a sign that there will be a rain storm.

So many conversations that they did even Grandpa Mo did not hesitate to tell his struggle until it could be as it is now.

With a clay jug in Grandpa Mo's left hand, he immediately said goodbye to Flo followed by his three ladies.

“Really.... This old grandfather is very grateful that you accepted the presence without an invitation beforehand. And yes!! Thanks also for this soup.” Grandpa Mo said with a slight lift to the clay jug.

“Haha... Sure oes... Sorry that our service was inadequate. Grandfather knows for himself not the condition of my residence.” Lirih Flo complained a little.

There was no meaning to anything from what Flo said. It felt like he was so disappointed in himself for not being able to give his best to the old man before him. Again and again he remembered the granny's debgan.

However, Grandpa Mo seemed to have misrespected Flo's words.

‘Truly Xiu'er has no heart. So hearty to let the imperial mother and his wife in a place like this.’ Inner Grandpa Mo.

“If I visit again here, I will give you a gift as a thank you. And one more... Don't hesitate to ask for my help if you're in trouble. Think of me as your Grandpa.” Clearly Grandpa Mo with a slight smile knotted and immediately left the Flo residence.

Hearing Grandpa Mo's words, it certainly made Flo's heart warm up a little. It felt like he was a little unwell if he had to utilize the old man for his personal purposes.

“Oh yes consort!! Can you explain to us, where did the empress go all this time?” Asked Dayang Fuo after Grandpa Mo's departure.

“---”

Already Flo guessed, surely his lady-in-waiting will ask about him. They are honest but will they believe? Made up stories but he never managed to trick these two women.

“Alright!! I---”

“ASTAGA!!”

Hearing the cry of empress Ling, dayang Fuo was also Wan's lady-in-waiting furthered in shock. Even little lady-in-waiting Wen who was inside the residence immediately ran out to see the situation.

“K-sister!! Why is the queen screaming? Is everything okay?” Dayang Wen asked a little panicked while looking at the elder sister and the empress.

“P-emmaisuri... What's up?” Ask dayang Wan.

“Businessku? How's our business with that hanfu shop? I should have given her the design.” The panic.

Dayang Wan was also dayang Fuo slightly sighed in relief. For the matter will actually be said by the two of them. But considering their empress had just returned, it was certainly very disrespectful.

“P-emmaise!! I'm sorry, but if we give a reasonable reason, I don't think he'll be angry. Moreover, he is not the type of grumpy person according to my observation.” It's definitely Dayang Wan.

“---”

A little speechless and allowed the words of the Wan lady. In the previous dimension, Flo often saw goulashy men and when they were upset or angry like a woman and violated nature.

At least he had to prepare a reasonable excuse as well as make some more hanfu designs as an apology for being a little unprofessional.

“Hopefully!! Haish... Why are there so many obstacles approaching me?? Really shit...” Pekik Flo restrained.

...SEE YOU NEXT...
